Unit 3 Assignments

All Assignments in Unit 3 must be completed by 10/02

Readings:

Read Lectures 1 and 2
Read Chapter 3, “The Core of an Argument,” (p.52 -66) of Writing Arguments.
Read Chapter 17, “Citing and Documenting Sources,” (p. 375-389) in Writing Arguments (you may omit the APA section)
Review the Sample Classical Arguments

Please note: I am not assigning it as a formal reading assignment, but the Writer’s Harbrace Handbook has an entire section devoted to MLA format; it is Chapter 11, behind the tab that says MLA. It is a good source and more comprehensive than our textbook.

Other WHH chapters that may be helpful (optional):

Chapter 9: Integrating Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism
Chapter 6: Writing Arguments

Discussions:

You have two discussions in this Unit. Make sure that you address BOTH of them thoroughly during this Unit.
